Fi Wi Rock produced by Bunny Striker Lee, The Now Team, Phillip Burrell, King Jammy for Prophecy, Trojan, Xterminator, Jammy’s, Kingston 11 in 1975
Fi Wi Rock Riddim brings together a deep mix of cuts linked to Bunny Striker Lee, with the post noting connections to The Now Team, Phillip Burrell, and King Jammy across labels like Prophecy, Trojan, Xterminator, Jammy’s, and Kingston 11. Set around a 1975 foundation, it spans classic and later versions, with Johnny Clarke’s Rock With Me Baby and King Tubby and The Aggrovators’ A Crabit Version sitting alongside John Holt, Gregory Isaacs, Bushman, Frankie Paul, and Sanchez. The selection is built for version lovers, moving from roots-era singles into later reinterpretations and a dub cut that helps frame the rhythm’s long shelf life. It plays like a broad showcase of one sturdy rocksteady-to-reggae pattern, with enough vocal variety and instrumental space to keep the mood changing while the core groove stays intact.
